Spirit of Life, Mystery Beyond Mystery:
“This being human is a guest house,”
says the poet, Rumi,
“Every morning a new arrival.
Welcome and entertain them all…
Be grateful, because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”
We may never plumb
the depths of the mystery
of our life on Earth.
We may never know
why things happen
the way they do.
But we can choose our response.
We can choose
to open our hearts
to what is.
We can choose
to make meaning
from what we are given.
We can choose to create beauty
We can choose to heal brokenness
We can give thanks
for the beauty
and the brokenness,
and we can trust
that we are held,
always,
in love.
Blessed be.
